Sylvia Löhken in the Media

Sylvia Loehken and the Introverts are still causing a stir in the German and English media scene. The first July 2015 issue of Der Spiegel (one of thelargest publications of its kind in Europe) includes an article on Introverts and Sylvia Loehken’s book Intros and Extros (English title: Power of Personality).

For a long time, we have been told that bigger is better, brash is best and shouting the loudest gets you the goods. But there has been a shift in the zeitgeist towards a more measured approach, and with it comes the rise of the introvert. Sylvia Loehken’s book, Quiet Impact, looks at 10 strengths that introverts display, as well as helping extroverts to understand their quieter counterparts.Woman’s Way (UK), issue July 28, 2014

Introverted persons don’t like working in the limelight. However, says Sylvia Loehken, the quiet persons are the ones who create big things.Handelsblatt (Germany)

Loehken does not pressurize introverts to change. Her approach is much more useful: emphasize your strengths, and be aware of your challenges.Financial Times (UK)

Some never speak up, even though they have a lot to say, and others never keep quiet, even if they should be better listeners at times. Employees with different temperaments clash at every company and because of their outward presentations, misunderstandings and conflicts sometimes occur. In her latest book Intros and Extros, Sylvia Löhken goes beyond clichés to answer the question, how quiet and not-so-quiet people think and act, where their strengths and weaknesses in the business environment lie, and how they can best be supported.Managementbuch.de
